Spurs still willing to take offers on 3.11. Pick isn't due until 12:40.

The last few picks devastated my list, but oh well.

Orlando Kobes will select Omer Asik

I was looking hard at Omer. But the fantasy GM in me is bothered that he's being sent back to the bench.

Detroit selects Bradley Beal

Shoutout to my co-GM who called this pick. Personally, I love Beal and his future prospects, but 3rd round is way too premature.

If Klay can go 3.1 then no doubt Beal is a 3rd rounder

Not only is Klay a more prolific shooter, but his defense is far superior. Furthermore, Beal spent the majority of his second half of his rookie year as well as this offseason rehabbing from injury. That's a huge obstacle towards his development. Drafting Beal in the 3rd seems more based off potential than actual value.

Actually, just realized Detroit picked him. They're going for team of the future so Beal doesn't seem like too bad of a pick anymore.

Not sure of the advanced stats but just by watching the two play, their defense seems at least very close.

Kyle Lowry, Dwayne Wade, 13th pick in even numbered rounds, 18th pick in odd numbered rounds.

I like the Lawson pick by AB and the Pekovic pick by WW. Nice fits for both teams.

WW?!?

All the times I've defended you Rebus?

"He's like a rich mans Lucky" or "At least he can read, unlike Champkind" I'd say -- only to have you mistake me for walker wiggle?!? I mean not even THE walker wiggle, just ww. I'm crushed.

Oh well I still think you have a better healthcare system.

Seriously though, Batum was the biggest reason I was trying to get into the 3rd. This guy is the most underrated player in the league, and he's easily a top 5 SF in my eyes. I mean, the kid is [REDACTED] with a smoother offensive game. He's already recorded the first 5x5 since [REDACTED]. And he's just 24?! There are guys in the 2nd I would take Batum over.

Worthy third round pick, but we've now seen GMs singing the praises of Aldridge, Lillard AND Batum. So why were the Trailblazers a lottery team?
Worst bench in the league last year. Would've been .500 with a capable bench.

As much as I hate Kobe in every way a person can hate an NBA player, gotta admit that that is a very intelligently put together team in Orlando. fwf is surrounding kobe with players that would seemingly work fabulously with Kobe.

So it's all Joel Freeland's fault, huh? Jerks.

Taking offers to move back from 3.13. Send them if you've got a guy you want.

Don't cut in line. I'm on the clock and taking offers on the 3.11 - waiting on a couple of counters.

Many apologies, GC. Excellent pick.

Oh and your team with Lebron was robbed.
